Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

Steve__Anthony says,

How about "The Exorcist?"

I watched the PG version on network TV in the early 80s and have NEVER had any desire to revisit that terror.

Steve__Anthony says,

Slumdog Millionaire.

I still can't imagine such a world exists.

Dragonflower says,

Shawshank Redemption.

Steve__Anthony says,

Jaws!!!!!

Dragonflower says,

The Adjustment Bureau.
The Skeleton Key (not a really great movie, but scary to me)
The King's Speech

maryjane31 says,

The Exorcist and Jaws, same as Steve. I cannot take horror movies of any kind. I was traumatized at age 12 when I saw Frankenstein. Could not sleep without a light on for weeks. Very sensitive to horror, murder, torture,etc. Awful!

JAD says,

I always watch a good movie more than once it seems you can miss alot first time.

mzejay says,

Hotel Rwanda
Life is Beautiful
Schlinder's List (from my husband, I couldn't even try to watch it)

canadafreeze says,

Anything with violence in it - sometimes, I'll watch a movie because of who is in it, what awards are being considered or won, or who directed it - Hurt Locker is a good example. Extraordinary movie with excellent performances.

Dean6805 says,

Probably The Godfather. I understand that it's an amazing film and I liked it, but it's not my favorite genre. Also, Les Miserables when I finally get to see it. I'm not a huge lover of musicals.

accidentaltourist says,

Titanic. I only watched it the first time because I was captive (on an airplane...flying over the ocean....seems a little wrong, eh?).

Scarface. And anything else with that kind of violence.

I had to watch Sixth Sense again, just to convince myself that the wife never actually DID interact with Bruce. It was so well done.

Steve__Anthony says,

Troy. Titanic.

illuminatrix says,

Anything by David Lynch. After his (amazing, artistic, dark) films, I feel vaguely like I've been molested by something that I'm debating is real or not, trying to decide whether or not to report it. David Lynch is like the Coen brothers if they really really wanted to fuck with people and had had issues growing up. Amazing characters, surreal settings, nuanced creepiness, hallucinatory confusion. It's like a Van Gough museum that somehow touches you without your permission. You just don't know what to think.

Level1 says,

The Sixth Sense. You will see it completely differently if you ever watch more than once.

ctgoods2 says,

Shawshank Redemption is my all time favorite - I've only seen it once. I don't want to ruin it for myself.

ba_miracle says,

A Beautiful Mind, though suddenly considering renting it.

I love scary movies (and comedies about scary movies ;-). When I was around 5 or 6 I (snuk)watched The God Father from an opening in the door and yes had nightmares about the head/combined with a story about a boy names Alexander and his Zebra suit. I Also think I must have peaked at a documentary for the Jewish concentration camps at some point before age 5 because those were some of my biggest nightmares well into grade school. They mostly stopped when I saw a documentary about them or they stopped being scary and more sad instead.

favepeep says,

Sophie's Choice; Meryl Streep broke my heart.

lillybrook says,

I think I see many, many movies more than once -- not sure why. But here's a list of movies I don't plan to see again: Pulp Fiction. Natural Born Killers. No Country for Old Men. A Simple Man. Moonrise Kingdom. Lost in Translation.

Some of these I loved -- just no need to go back to any of them.

lillybrook says,

OH! Amityville Horror. I'll never watch it again, but scenes from that movie play over and over again in my mind (shiver).

oopsalittle says,

before I clicked this open to respond my first thought was -
slumdog millionaire - I even bought it before I watched it - big mistake

KharisJo says,

Passion of the Christ - brilliantly done, but harrowing

Mourningdove says,

Any war movie.

Wench says,

Lincoln. We've started watching it, and the acting is great, but it's not something I think I can sit through twice.
